News
Morgan Coghill is in the news as the challenger to incumbent Rep. Brad Schneider in Illinois’ 10th Congressional District race ahead of the March 17, 2026 primary. The campaign is focusing on issues like the economy, immigration, and foreign policy, with Coghill backing progressive proposals such as Medicare for All and abolishing ICE. Separately, heavy spending by AIPAC-linked groups in Illinois primaries is drawing debate over outside influence and campaign finance, though the reporting centers more broadly on Illinois races than on Coghill specifically.
